The mother of Mevlânâ Celâleddîn-i Rûmî; in the sources she is called Mâder-i Mevlânâ and Vâlide Sultan.
🔴 This record rests on an indirect source: she has no independent encyclopaedia article; what follows is what the article on the Karaman Mevlevîhâne, where her grave is, gives.
The Mevlevî lodge at Karaman is, in the words of the source, the lodge "where the mother and the elder brother of Mevlânâ Celâleddîn-i Rûmî are buried".
Her Tomb and Complex — The mevlevîhâne was established around the years 1310-1320 at the place where her grave and the tomb of her son Muhammed Alâeddin stand; it thus became an important centre of visitation on the Mevlevî path. According to the source's description, "the sarcophagus of Mevlânâ's mother stands immediately before the qibla wall and is surrounded by a tall gilded wooden cage in the empire style."
Differing Scholarly Views
🔴 The limit of the record is the limit of the source. What is in hand is an article on architecture. This source gives no information about her place and date of birth, her family, her place in the journey of migration from Balkh to Anatolia, or the date of her death; this is why those sections have not been opened in this record. Mevlânâ's own record relates that journey of migration, but carries no separate information about his mother.
The record is built upon a place of visitation. Most of what is known about her comes by way of the place established in her name; the atlas makes this difference known to the reader (principle 6).
